I'm running a Mopar Performance intake that came off of one of the early crate engines, I got it from Indy Cylinder Heads. Back when I did the swap the only carb intakes available were the Mopar Performance intake and XV Motorsports was marketing one. I sent $600 to XV for an intake and they...

I've been running TTI ceramic coated headers on my 5.7 for about 13 years now. They still look great and absolutely no rusting.

You must be related to Tim 'the toolman' Taylor, the guy who put a Harley Sportster engine in his wife's dishwasher!:rofl:

:lol::thumbsup: YUP!!!

I cruise my car around town, drive it in parades, and drive it to car shows within a two hour drive of where I live. Any further, I'll trailer it and I have no intentions of doing the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour. Why would I want to go to all the trouble and expense of fitting some kind of OD...

If you're talking about the TTI headers, they have been out longer than ten years. I bought mine in either '08 or '09. I've never had a problem with mine, great fit and they still look as good as they did when I first put them in the car.

I did my swap (5.7 into a 70 Cuda) back in 2009 when there wasn't a lot of stuff available for the swap. I used a Charlie's oil pan and have never had any problems with it. They are made to order so you would have to call them but the pans are beautifully made. Oil Pans

With Hagerty you don't have a chance to volunteer it. When I insured my Cuda they specfically said that any kind of wheel tubs were not permitted and required pictures of the inside of the trunk and I am guessing it was for the purpose of determining that the rear wheel wells were stock.

I'm not sure about other insurance companies but Hagerty won't insure a classic car with minitubs. Just throwing that out there.

I was wondering the same thing.

That looks great! :thumbsup:

That's some nice looking work! I would say that you have a pretty good grasp on airflow and can see what the obstructions are. Looking forward to seeing the finished ports! I have an early 5.7 in my Cuda and it has a 6.1 cam in it. otherwise it's pretty much stock internally. I'm 68 and at my...

That's comparing apples to hammers! :p

I don't know if you're still looking, but I have a 76 A833 OD with the original Hurst shifter. I would take $500 plus shipping for it.

I've had my 5.7 Hemi in my 70 Cuda with a TF727 behind it for over 12 years now and never had any kind of support piece on it like that. I've never had an issue. Is it really necessary or is it something the aftermarket wants you to think is necessary?

Awesome car, I love the patina!

You should keep the shims under the valve springs, you don't want to run valve springs without them on aluminum heads.

???

This whole post made my head hurt! Damn I'm glad I went with a lowly TF727 in my swap!:)

I wasn't aware of that! I used a TF727 with the starter on the left on my swap. Since the engine is offset in the engine bay there's no interference with the pitman arm. I'm guessing that most of the swaps incorporating the factory trans with the starter on the right probably used aftermarket K...

Why are you mounting the starter on the right side? Most Mopar apps have the starter on the left side. That could be your problem.

I'm looking forward to following your build. Saving for your first car from kindergarten on was really amazing, you are a true car guy for sure!:thumbsup:

I love how this build is playing out, it's going to be an awesome car when it's done!:thumbsup:

We had the take home units too. I definitely took care of mine but I couldn't say the same for others, it could be hit or miss. I was the firearms instructor for 14 years and the care some officers took of their handgun, a tool that they might need to save their life, was sometimes appalling...

Mena ARKANSAS, not Arizona.

I'm a retired police officer, and I agree with what others here have said, the police car engine is not the best choice. They are right in that the cars do spend long periods idling and they aren't well cared for either. I would definitely go with the 2014 option!

Hey, if you're not driving it like you stole it, you're not having fun!!! Sorry for your loss, but I'll bet it was fun while it lasted!:thumbsup:

I won't get in a "pissing match" with you over which one is better either, I have no experience with either one! From a "budget standpoint" though, Holley shows their kit at $1899.95, as opposed to your quote of $2300 from Hotwire Auto. I'm just pointing out what you said and what Holley shows...

Until you factor in a Ram ECM and the cost of having it unlocked, and then the tuner.
